Buying The Best Cricket Ground Equipment Possible

Cricket is a very popular game, and has been since the 16th century

. English by birth, cricket is played internationally and has followers all over the globe. It remains in the heart of the British people as a much loved 'traditional' game, especially in more rural areas such as Yorkshire and Hampshire.

With the amount of interest there is in the sport, it has developed into a game that has strict rules and regulations for not only the players, but the equipment used and the pitch it is played on. Many cricket pitches actually have synthetic cricket matting as a floor covering as opposed to natural turf, due to it's resistance to all types of weather conditions. No cricketer wants to play on a surface that is muddy, and this may also influence the outcome of the game, so proper cricket ground equipment such as matting is used.

One well known manufacturer of cricket ground equipment such as matting is Verde. Their products are sold by a large variety of retailers to the sports industry, as they provide not only cricket ground equipment, but surfaces for other sports such as golf and badminton as well. Verde also provide a wide range of home and leisure ground equipment, such as garden grasses and artificial grasses for use around areas such as spas or swimming pools.

Verde have been trading since 1988, so with over 20 years in the industry they are experts at providing cricket ground equipment that will meet the specifications needed. They originally supplied only floor surfaces for three sports; bowls, golf and cricket, but soon expanded their range to incorporate home surfaces as well. They sell both directly to private homes and to external retailers, and also export their products to distributors overseas, to countries including Iceland, Norway, Cyprus and New Zealand.

Another well known manufacturer of artificial cricket pitches and cricket ground equipment is Flicx. They, like Verde, sell a range of cricket ground equipment to meet different specifications, including varying sizes of the matting they sell. Their UK branch is based in Oxfordshire, and they have been trading since August 1997. The founder of Flicx, Richard Beghin, is from South Africa, and when he realised the country's' love of cricket was being hampered by the lack of their facilities for the game; he decided to create an artificial pitch so cricket could be played in more locations. The first pitch he created was used at Telkom Country Club in Pretoria, and his popularity has just grown since then. As the company's motto is to help develop people through all different types of sport, they understand that using proper cricket ground equipment will help with this aim.

Both Verde and Flicx products are sold by a wide variety of retailers, both from the Internet and high street stores. Artificial cricket matting may only be one aspect of ensuring that the cricket pitch that is being used meets the requirements of the game, but it is a very important area to consider, and any products bought must be the best quality possible.
